Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potato gnocchi
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 12 Fresh sage leaves
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil cooking spray.
Add the drained gnocchi to the skillet, spreading them out in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
While the gnocchi is frying, prepare the sage butter. In a small separate pan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the sage leaves and minced garlic to the butter, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sage becomes crispy and the garlic is fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Once the gnocchi is fried to your liking, remove them from the skillet and place them in a large bowl.
Pour the sage butter mixture over the gnocchi, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
